US election 2020 thread

He must have flipped his wig when the election results came in.

Second place silver. No gold for losers.

 

[bimble]

Good morning.

I've noticed that his hair was changing slowly.
I pay attention to this nonsense

Maybe someone told him silver was better than gold.

When you say changing slowly, you mean it’s been gradually getting less gold over a period of time, it was a peaceful orderly transition and not that he just stopped getting it sprayed yellow abruptly? Important things I need to know.

This is what trump's once-favourite fox news personality did last night, talked about how they still have sunsets and mountains and they do not eat dogs and America is still the best most happiest place on earth and christmas is coming.

Oooooh, he almost slipped up and said "the next administration" then

Sky News is running with - it's the nearest the President has come to admitting defeat...

"I will not go, this administration will not be going to a lockdown, and hopefully whatever happens in the future, who knows which administration it will be, I guess time will tell. But, I can tell you this administration will not go to a lockdown."

That can't have been in the script, when he's still tweeting absolute nonsense like this...

The hashtag that might have been useful to the headbangers today #MillionMAGAMarch is instead thousands of pictures of pancakes.

 

[redsquirrel]

What twaddle this is. Not only wrong but shit politics to describe like this. Apart from actual racists and ideological right wingers, these are people just making sense of their experiences, like you or I. Reaching the wrong conclusions, to say the least, but this is end products of all kinds of stuff, not 'depravity'. If there's to be any kind of working class movement in America, it will need some of these people.

It's just Jeff doing his Ernesto tribute act, hardcore communist vote Labour!. I hope he's paying royalties

It's obviously a prediction that they're going to get battered

 

[bimble]

There seems to be a lot of people arguing that the best response to this million maga rally thats supposed to happen today would be for everyone else to stay away and leave them to it, not give them what they want let them fight each other and go away.
It's an interesting one, might turn out to be just the usual pointless parade of men dressed up as soldiers but it is being promoted quite heavily by the actual administration.

Trump Administration Promoting DC Rally Featuring White Nationalists, Proud Boys, and Boogaloo Militias

A far-Right and pro-Trump rally being organized and promoted by white nationalists, Proud Boys, and militia groups is also finding support from pundits on Fox News and even within the Trump administration. The "Millions MAGA March," also known as "Stop the Steal," is being called for this...

I wonder if Trump will be able to resist going outside to soak it up ...

That hashtag is actually funny, mainly pancakes, but other stuff too...

He's supposed to have said that he will show up. i have no idea if thats true.

There were 5-600 nazis and associated nutters at Charlottesville. They'd be very lucky to get 4 figure attendance for this one. I don't think they should be unapposed but on this occasion it might pay to keep protest as peaceful as possible.

I hope they bring their swastikas. We might get treated to the sight of Trump addressing a crowd of actual fascists rather than his normal audience of thick racists.

I'm torn over exactly what I wish for Trump's future, when there's the promise of splitting the GOP vote ....

 

[Yossarian]

With Trump mostly out of sight for more than a week, David Frum at the Atlantic says: "Those of us who have lived in the vicinity of malignant narcissists will recognize Trump's behavior pattern" and cites an article on how narcissists disintegrate when they feel deprived of attention and admiration.

His whole behaviour seems constrained, artificial, and effortful. The narcissist gradually turns more and more mechanical, detached, and "unreal". His thoughts constantly wander or become obsessive and repetitive, his speech may falter, he appears to be far away, in a world of his narcissistic fantasies, where Narcissistic Supply is aplenty.

He withdraws from his painful existence, where others fail to appreciate his greatness, special skills and talents, potential, or achievements. The narcissist thus ceases to bestow himself upon a cruel universe, punishing it for its shortcomings, its inability to realise how unique he is.

The narcissist believes that, no matter what he does, he will always be forgiven, always prevail and triumph, always come on top. The narcissist is, therefore, fearless in a manner perceived by others to be both admirable and insane. He attributes to himself divine and cosmic immunity - he cloaks himself in it, it renders him invisible to his enemies and to the powers of "evil". It is a childish phantasmagoria - but to the narcissist it is very real.

Yeah right. The coke brothers knew what they're buying.

IIRC Trump was the only candidate for the 2016 republican nomination who wasn't in the pocket of the Koch brothers.

 

[Dogsauce]

Yeah, Kochs weren’t on the Trump Train. Mercer is the new bogeyman for that sort of thing, though plenty of other cunts throwing money into his campaign pot or funding dark ads.

 

[MickiQ]

He's supposed to have said that he will show up. i have no idea if thats true.

It's significant how many show up, if there is a lot it will give him a second wind to carry on with the denial for a while longer but if only a few show up it is likely to depress him further and send him off into an even greater sulk.

Some have suggested the grey hair is preparing to do a Weinstein-style 'I'm just an old doddery man' act in front of the judge....

Tweeting in all caps seems to be catching on, or perhaps Trump actually set-up this account.

Oh god I hope only a hundred or so turn up

 

[pesh]

middling maggot march.

Perhaps this will be the concession speech?

“Thanks for coming, I quit, bye”

I wonder if Lazy Llama could set up a permanent "caps lock" function for Urban's favourite Trump fan...

It comes across as forceful and manly

 

[quiet guy]

Well a lot of gloss paint has been done. I hate the stuff. Went for a run to come back to see paw prints on my windowsill. And across the work top and the floor. The cat was just sitting there looking pleased with herself.

But isn't christmas banned now? Especially as the communist democrats have launched their coup?
